Sadly the Queen's rather stilted and painful reading-out of a speech
that was probably written by someone else is a big turn off.


She writes her own speeches. Her apparent boredom is upper class


With, of course, the exception of "The Queen's Speech", which (roughly)
each session of parliament is opened, and gives the current government's
plans for what they intend (hope, whatever - depends on your cynicism
and how well you align with the current party in power) to achieve in
the coming session. Though read by the monarch, it's certainly not
written by her/him. (The joke in the title of the film about a recent
king's stammer is thus lost on those not familiar with this.)

reticence: it's bad form to show your emotions in public. If you can
read the signs (I can), she has been quite emotional in her Christmas
messages.

The reference to "faking sincerity" should make it quite clear that
emotional expression is not universal. What the writers meant was
"express that attitude/emotion the same way I would". Recent attempts
at finding expressions of emotion that have the same significance
across cultures have found none.

Indeed. The queen is also from a generation - and, yes, class, though I
think the generation is more significant - that expressed its emotions
less openly than ours.
